Design: Built In Seating Rarely a Good Idea

Harvest Table for 12, arbor, pendant lights, vines & hedges. Done.

Copy, it's the 1st rule of Garden Design.
.
Fact, if a garden design was beautiful centuries ago. It WILL be beautiful in your garden.
.
Al fresco dining. Across continents, cultures, eras, humans are hardwired for Al Fresco dining.
.
Yesterday's Garden Design I completed includes 3 square teak tables. They can be used individually or together as a harvest table.
.Fixed seating, as some decks have, remind me of George S. Patton speaking of war, "Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man."
.Give yourself choices.
.
Another good one from Georgie, "If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you'll be amazed at the results." .
